PARIS, Oct. 2, 2019
/PRNewswire/ -- Following the announcement of the collaboration
between Ekinops and VeloCloud by VMware in March 2019, the two companies have worked to
bring the solution to a new level. Now, VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud
VNF has achieved Integration Level 4 certification on Ekinops OVP
uCPE. This highest level of certification enables service providers
to adopt the solution of "Ekinops OVP uCPE and VMware SD-WAN by
VeloCloud" with confidence.
Service Providers around the world have launched SD-WAN services
at scale, and bring greater agility for their customers to more
securely access Cloud services. When SD-WAN is deployed as a VNF,
Service Providers can offer another level of flexibility at the
enterprise WAN Edge, helping combine best-of-breed services into
solitary edge devices. That next stage requires a proven, robust
integration. This is what VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud, the
market leader, and Ekinops OVP uCPE, the open and robust middleware
and uCPE solution, have achieved through the Ekinops VNFs
Certification Program.
Steve Woo, senior director
for Product, VeloCloud business unit,
VMware commented: "The advanced, field-proven
technology brought by Ekinops OVP uCPE with VMware SD-WAN by
VeloCloud gives service providers a winning combination of the
industry leading SD-WAN in conjunction with whatever other services
are required."
Ekinops VNFs Certification program has five levels from 0 to 4.
Levels 0 to 2 confirm the VNF's technical compatibility with the
Ekinops OVP uCPE running on OneOS6. Levels 3 to 4 certify the joint
solution in a "real-life" Service Provider's environment. The Level
4 integration between VMware SD-WAN and Ekinops OVP uCPE will
strongly support Service Providers in their successful delivery of
the Business Services evolution through agile WAN services.
The certification Level 4 for VMware SD-WAN brings the following
benefits to Service Providers:
- Time saving in the validation and tuning process while offering
high performance on Ekinops uCPE to achieve the best performance
vs. cost ratio for such a solution.
- Remove integration barriers through a single point of service
activation for uCPE and VMWare SD-WAN. This enables service
providers to concentrate their efforts on their specific
integration constraints with Ekinops' active support.
- Integration sustainability: Ekinops can support service
providers throughout the entire solution lifecycle.
"We are very pleased to have reached such a robust
integration of the VMware SD-WAN with Ekinops OneOS6 running on our
OVP uCPE", commented Philippe
Moulin, Chief Operating Officer in charge
of Access Products and Services at Ekinops. "Ekinops
guarantees this integration's sustainability which means any
service provider can launch a VNF-based VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud
solution in confidence knowing it is really a future-proof
choice."
